The Ghana Police Service has arrested six students of Aggrey Memorial Senior High School for allegedly assaulting a final-year student of Adisadel College in Cape Coast in the Central Region.
According to a press release issued by the Central Regional Command’s Public Affairs Unit on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, the incident occurred on Friday, February 20, 2026, at about 3:30 p.m., shortly after the final day of an inter-colleges sports festival held at the Cape Coast Stadium.

The attackers are also alleged to have robbed him of his iPhone 17 Pro Max, GH¢1,400 in cash, and his shoes.
